Microbiological risk assessment aims to characterize the nature and probability of harm resulting from human exposure to the biological agents that are present in foodstuffs. This assessment must take into account all stages of the chain: from the production of raw materials to consumption. After briefly introducing food safety and risk assessment, this book details the four major steps of microbiological risk assessment. The contributors first present hazard identification and then exposure assessment, which is subdivided into methods for the detection and enumeration of pathogens and for the quantification of the level of exposure. Then, hazard characterization is subdivided into pathogenicity mechanisms and quantification of the dose–response relationship. Finally a guide for microbiological risk characterization is provided. The conclusion presents possible development avenues for microbiological risk assessment, particularly its integration into a holistic assessment of food systems.

It provides the latest developments on microalgae for use in environmental biotechnology, explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, and discusses the transition to smart manufacturing and how state of the art technologies can be incorporated. It covers applications, technologies, challenges, and future perspectives.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1250281598 | 143 pages | True EPUB | 27.26 MB [b]From author David H.

Questions frequently arise about how to conduct policy process research comparatively and among this global community of scholars. Methods of the Policy Process is the first book to remedy this situation, not by establishing an orthodoxy or imposing upon the policy process community a rigid way of conducting research but, instead, by allowing the leading researchers in the different theoretical traditions a space to share the means by which they put their research into action.  English | 2022 | ISBN: B09JCP256V | 433 pages | True PDF | 28.75 MB This book presents the revolutionary approach to the treatment of hearing loss proposed by Professor Henryk Skarżyński and developed in collaboration with the group of internationally recognized experts on clinical and experimental otolaryngology, otosurgery, and audiology. The authors present an in-depth look at different aspects of this comprehensive concept of treatment of partial and total deafness with hearing implants, and discuss the approaches to diagnostics and patient selection, results in different groups of patients, the surgical technique, and procedures. This book also covers audiological aspects, auditory training, patient's performance, and psychology.  English | 2020 | ISBN: 1624105823 | 1406 pages | True PDF | 13.55 MB Methods of Orbital Maneuvering examines the use of direct methods in applied spacecraft trajectory optimization. A full breadth of orbit transfer topics is discussed, from the formation of initial guesses to the generation of a full, high-fidelity, multiple maneuver transfer that satisfies all mission constraints and objectives. The text starts with a review of single impulse maneuvers, and the two-impulse transfers between two terminals. Several chapters discuss search and optimization techniques for transfers between specified orbits using up to three impulses. A section is devoted to the incorporation of constraints in the search and optimization process. The text then describes the transformation of these simpler sequences into high fidelity, with multiple finite thrust maneuvers. Ultimately, techniques are described to optimize these high-fidelity, multiple maneuver trajectories. A chapter is devoted to describing constraints commonly seen in orbit transfer operations. A closing chapter discusses several operational topics, including the need for various error analyses, the creation of a spacecraft propellant budget, and processes for maneuver reconstruction and calibration. A culminating appendix delves into numerical simulation of thruster firing on a spacecraft, addressing the modeling of a variety of orbit adjust maneuver types.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 303095725X | 164 pages | True PDF EPUB | 2.48 MB This book provides the foundations of trust amidst radical uncertainty. Specifically, it addresses the question of under what condition it is possible to trust relative strangers. As the first logical investigation of its kind, the book breaks with many preconceived ideas we have about trust and the scientific method that leads to its clarification. It builds on the insight that, contrary to widespread belief, it is not risk but freedom that is most fundamental for explaining trust. In fact, trust is the giving of freedom, out of freedom, and one's consciousness of the potential risks involved merely disturbs one's ability to trust. The book makes the twofold normative claim that any legitimate scientific preoccupation with trust must necessarily include the concept of freedom in its account, and that theories of trust that run against the logical prerequisites of freedom are a-priori falsified. It presents a theoretical proposal that makes sure that trust, instead of being constructed as a passive and functional "illusion" of natural love, is understood as the necessary product of an active reason that is oriented towards developing human autonomy.
